IUPAC Nomenclature of Haloalkanes and Alcohols

The video tutorial explains the naming conventions for hydrocarbons with different substituents, focusing on haloalkanes and alcohols. It covers identifying the longest carbon chain, numbering it to prioritize substituents, and listing them alphabetically. The tutorial emphasizes the priority of hydroxyl groups over alkyl and halogen substituents and provides examples to illustrate these rules.

What is the first step in naming a haloalkane?

• Identify the longest carbon chain

• List substituents alphabetically

• Count the number of halogen atoms

• Determine the molecular weight

When numbering a carbon chain, which factor determines the direction?

• The molecular weight of the compound

• The number of carbon atoms

• The position of the first substituent

• The type of halogen present

How are multiple identical substituents indicated in a compound's name?

• By using a numerical prefix

• By listing them separately

• By using a different suffix

• By changing the compound's suffix

What is the suffix used for naming alcohols?

• yne

• ene

• ol

• ane

Which group takes priority in numbering, hydroxyl or halogen?

• Alkyl

• Hydroxyl

• Methyl

• Halogen

What is the first step in naming a simple hydrocarbon?

• List substituents alphabetically

• Identify the longest carbon chain

• Determine the molecular weight

• Count the number of hydrogen atoms

Which prefix is considered in alphabeticity when naming hydrocarbons?

• tetra

• iso

• tri

• di
